This Shiraz is very easy to drink, not necessary a good thing!, it has just the right amount of spice and fruitiness. As a general rule of thumb, the darker a red wine the younger it is, the lighter it is, the older it is, this wine is just the right colour. It has pepper as the main aroma, and it has a lovely taste of blackberries, blackcurrants and plums. As I have said before, I am quite fussy about red wine although I liked this one. It taste great with spaghetti bolognese and doesn’t have a bad aftertaste. Also it is not too acidic.
The ideal accompaniment to enjoy with red meats such as venison or beef steak as well as mushroom based dishes.
Banrock Station’s new Eco packaging revealed.
Banrock Station is as passionate about crafting flavoursome Australian wine as it is about giving nature a helping hand. With a genuine passion and commitment to the environment, Banrock Station has donated £2.3m to 97 environmental projects in 13 countries. This dedication to the environment flows through the Banrock Station winery, to craft generously fruity wines packed with flavour.
This summer, Banrock Station is celebrating nature by unveiling a gorgeous new exterior to its eco-friendly collection of both classic and innovatively-styled wines.
Its sleek new look packaging, with distinguishing gold labelling, makes its full bodied Shiraz Mataro the ideal choice for dinner parties and crisp Colombard Chardonnay a refreshing accompaniment on those long lazy summer evenings spent with friends and loved ones.
Banrock Station strongly believe that, both now and in the future, nothing is more important than the earth, and by using best-practice and sustainable techniques, Banrock Station has expertly crafted the ideal setting for a wide variety of grapevines to thrive.
Banrock Station’s vast portfolio of world-renowned wines not only makes for an ideal gift for friends and family, but a gift that gives back to the earth in which it’s grown.
